Ask and you shall receive! The TiddlyWiki gods have been kind to me this week! Based on Jeremy's BibTex importer plugin (available in pre-release <http://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/>), I'm now able to do, well, almost everything I imagined with respect to bibliography management using bibtex and importing into tiddlywiki.
Have a look: https://stevesunypoly.updog.co/bibtex/bibliography3.html More work to be done, but this is huge <https://youtu.be/9V3-GAsMEHQ?t=7s>. (duplicate of biblio thread).
